Editorial Review for Zely & Ritz Tapas Restaurant & Bar – by Kristine Forrest Seawell
In Short
Colorful, creative and confidently cool, this restaurant takes advantage of its prime Glenwood location. Many of the sleek black tables--each adorned with a red flower in a small bud vase--offer a view of the nightlife outside. In a refreshing twist on trendy decor, nothing distracts from quiet conversation here; the art on the walls is fun, but guests can focus on each other instead of on the room itself.

Insider Tips
Where to SitIf you want a view, request a table by the front window. Socialites might prefer the large communal table by the bar.
What to DrinkThe restaurant offers an extensive wine menu, as well as a delectable dessert wine list.
Know Before You GoParties unfamiliar with tapas should know that appetites will be satisfied if each person orders a dish from each list on the menu.
Save MoneyAll wines by the bottle at half price on Mondays and five dollar martinis every Thursday.
The ExtrasChef Sarig Agasi creates dishes that are small in size, but large in flavor, while his wife, Nancy, selects wine for the notable list. Together, the two have created a fantastic dining experience. Appetizers are unforgettable; the tuna carpaccio provides a light, tangy start. For heartier fare, the salmon with citrus sauce has a buttery crust that gives way to flaky fish.

I had to try it when I found out they use only organic ingredients, and most of the vegetables come from a local organic farm. I found the food not to be overly complicated, the ingredients are the star, and everything was perfectly seasoned. I wouldn't call it a Tapas restaurant, sure they have a few different small "bites" plates, but the menu also consists of several starters, entrees, sides and desserts. The prix fixe is the best deal if you plan on a full meal. Choices are very varied as well, I found Mediterranean dishes on the menu such as hummus alongside Southern greens. This restaurant now ranks up with Enoteca Vin as my 2 favorite downtown spots.

I love this place. The services is fabulous, organic dishes are wonderful and they always have thoughtful and decent wine choices. Great girls' night out or date night restaurant.
Pros: The whole package; good food, service and atmosphere! I love that they grow many of their own veggies and fruits and that they are organic.
Cons: parking is always a challenge on Glenwood. I wish this restaurant was in a different location
